Lake Umbagog.
Near Lakeside
1896
June 10
  Early morning dull & threatening rain but at 8 a.m. the clouds broke away
the wind moved to northwest and the day proved as fine as possible.
  At 7.30 a.m. I started out alone, Watrons having gone up the
Lake to Great Island again. I especially wished to see if
I could find a Philadelphia Vireo for I have not seen one
at the head of the Lake since May 24th or, in other words,
since before the migration came to an end! Nor was I more
successful here this morning for although I hunted up very Vireo
that I could hear singing in the poplar & birch second growth
along the roadside and about the edges of the Brown clearing
as far as the State line I found nothing but Red-eyes.
Evidently the Philadelphia is not a common bird here now
if, indeed, it is present at all.

  Another special object of my walk was to look up some
of the Cape May Warblers which we left here last month
apparently settled for the season, one in the little spruce
opening at the head of the Sweat Cove, another in the spruce
pasture just below Strickland's in Upton, the third on the
edge of the forest in small timber spruces at the S.E. corner
of the Brown clearing, the fourth in dense pasture spruces
between the Brown Cove and the road & within a few rods
of the latter.
